About three years ago firm in Los Angeles commenced cry:talizing figs. They made good article and found a ready market for their goods. In two years it became necessary for them to double the capacity of their works, and but for the fact that they could not buy suficiency of. fruit, although they offered fifty dollars per ton for it, the capacity of their factory would have been inadequate to supply their orders.-Ex.

Irrigation.
(Tncson Citizen.)


 The construction of ditches has long been favoritC project with the money ed men of Tucson, but like many schemes similarly organized they died hefore they were born. In fancy the great plains have been peopled and cultivated. Irrigating canals spread ing like an immense net work forced tho earth to teem with riches. But out of the realms of fancy nothing was accomplished. Without money the mare would not be driven and as mon ey was something the boomers did not propose to use, these fine imagin ings came to nothing Outside capital was temptingly invited, but outsiders are not prone to furnish money for insiders to work on. To establish con- fidence home capital is usually requir- ed to take the initiative and being'slow in this, outside capital kicks up its heels and gallops of in another direc- tion. That there was blg money in any project that bade fair to bring the rich alluvial desert soils under cultiva- tion was usually conceded, and for the sake of the riches promised, it has been a marvel to many that such works were not inaugurated and car ried to successful completion years ago. This honor, however, was reserv- ed for men who although blessed with but few sheckels were rich in hope and strong in muscle. In a water ditch they foresaw wealth and had the courage to risk their little all in an attempt to secure it.
 Under the superintendence of A. J. Davidson, one of the projectors, the ditch dream of years bids fair to, be- come a matter of fact. In December last the Rillito Land and Water Com- pany filed their laws of incorporation and at once began work. This work under many disadvantages they have persistently prosecuted to an al- most successful ending.
 According to the plans of the origi- nators their ditch will have capacity of about 2000 miners inches of water winch amount is amply sufficient to irrigate some 100000 acres of land. To those interested but not versed in the water measurements it might be as well to here add that 2000 miners inches of water under head pressure of six inches, will in 24 hours cover an area of II acres, between nine and ten feet deep. At the head of the ditch where much expenditure of money and labor is required, arrangements are being so perfected as to increase the capacity of the ditch to 5000 in

A plant has been discovered in Ari zona which carries large proportion of tannin, and which, when used 1T the manufacture of leather, is found to give extra weight to the whole pro duct. This plant is of annual growth indigenous to the deserts and dry up lands, and is known as godagra. Il has root somewhat longer and more scraggy than the cultivated beet, but resembling it in appearance, and prac tical use has demonstrated its tannir properties to be about three times as great as the ordinary oak bark, and in all essentials it is superior to such bark in the manufacture of leather and immensely cheaper, -Ex.

ches at but little additional, cost. The ditch enters and crosses the Rillito near Hancoek's prcemption and heads thence almost directly east to the wes- tern edge of the Fort Lowell reserva- ton. On this portion of the ditch for distance of nearly two miles the heaviest work was required. Here at the head of the ditch proper, the com pany have pre- empted land and on this land their water supply will be devel- oped.
 This kind of development is unique but not new. It consists of supply lead" of the following construction. A Hume 1000 feet long, four feet wide by depth of two feet-inside meas urement-laid at a depth of 2 feet under demonstrated water level. The bottom will be of solid two-inch plank, the sides and top will be made of scant- ling 2x4 nailed half an inch apart, this will be covered by rock and gravel through which the water can percolate into the Hume, which lies directly in the bed of tho Rillito. This Hume, will discharge into a .cistern l2 feet in diameter in which the regulation gate will be placed, and from this cistern an aqueduct 1850 feet long, will con vey the water into the open ditch be- low. This aqueduct will be a concrete el ptical arch with 4 foot base 3 feet deep. The point of juncture with the open ditch is out of the Rillito proper, beyond the reach of possible damage by overflow. At Hancock's the final crossing of the Rillito is made and this is done by means of covered Hume ten feet below the surface, and thus prevent any undercutting by freshets or unasuag rushes of water.
 From Hancock's west, the ditch men will have plain sailing. A few cuts and an occasional turn to avoid hill and the water can be turned on some of the finest lands in the west. At the slaughter house of Pusch & Zellweger, 21 miles north of Tucson, the water level will be about even with the top of the windmill. If brought to Tucson in g miles the water level will be about even with the top of the stone coping of the courthouse, but if brought here in seven miles as the ditch men purpose to try, the lev ell will be fully six feet higher than the point last named. This would give all the lower portion of the city water void of alkaline impurities. The course OI CHe ulUcn VIII uo uuo noSG for about two miles after leaving the RiFlito, it then turns at almost right angles due south. The proprietors themselves have not fully decided on the terminal point. They purpose first to turn cA the.water, demonstrate  its quantity and then accept the pro- position that has the tendency to best bring them their well earned reward. In the course of six weeks tho ditch will be completed and if expectations be realized, 1t will be the entering wedge for new and prosperous era fer Tucson. The whole cost of the ditch when completed, will aggregate about S2O,OOO.

And now comes a human fend in the person of a Mrs Rozelle, aided, abetted and cOunsoled by her coward ly, and no less fendish husband, and caps the climax of murderous cruelty, by throwing vitriol in the face of a man named Petrie, in Los Angeles. Petrie was an engineer on the s. P. road, and is highly spoken of by those who know him; however that may be, there is no possible excuse for resort ing to such an inhuman method of resenting a supposed, or even a real insult. Mrs. Rozelle and her husband are in jail and Petrie is in a critical condition.

CURING.

Pick when the fruit begins tn wilt; sulphur with l lb. sulphur to each 100 lbs. of fruit; burn very slowly and keep the fruit in for ten hours; this prevents souring, and bleaches the skin. After removal from sulphur treat the same as raisins; turn over several times; and don't dry them too hard. The softer they are the better they are, and heavier, too; go over them once in a while and pick out all that are dry enough and leave the rest few days. It is better to cover them nights. It will take from four to twelve days to dry sufficiently, depend ing upon weather, fruit and other circumstances. When dry, dip for two seconds in boiling hot solution of l lb.
 concentrated lye and 3 lbs. rock salt in 30 gallons of water. Remove from
 the solution, dry and pack in large boxes, tightly covered, to remain for a sweating process of two or three weeks

Los Angeles is now said to have one of the most elaborately finished crema- tories in the world. It has just been completed, and now those who prefer to be reduced to a thimbleful of ashes, gathered up in an urn and slowed
 away in some dingy neglected closet, can be gratifed, while those who wish, may still be planted in the old way, so that loving hands may cause fragrant flowers to bud and bloom above them.

PROFITS.

The fig seems to do best in the foot hill, at an elevation of from 800 to l,500 feet above the sea. A tree in Shasta county, 25 years old, is l9S inches in circumference, and the top spreads 67 feet, bearing from l,S00 to 1000 lbs. of green fruit yearly. In Calaveras county are some trees equal ly large and productive. I have ire quently known of trees yielding from 600 to 1000 lbs. of dried figs. l have small orchard at Penryn, only ' years old, that gives me l50 lbs. of dried figs this year, and at 6 cents a pound this is S9 per tree. This will increase rapidly for the next ten years, and I expect to dry by artificial heat and get 10 to 15 cents instead of cents.
 Thus you can see an orchard of figs well managed, and the fruit nicely cured, is reallya a bonanza. I would not plant many kinds. I would plant only one or two leading kinds, and let the nurserymen do the testing of new varieties"

Facts About Figs.

The following is an extract from an essay on fruit culture read before the meeting of the California State fruit growers by R. Williamson:
 "The fig IS the most ancient fruit we cultivate. In many old countries the failure of this crop almost means starvation and famine. Travellers in Asia Minor and Southern Europe pro- vide themselves with figs and olives as provisions for long journeys, and not only live, but endure, and grow fat on the diet. The fig has more medical properties and more nutriment than any other fruit, except possibly the olive. High prices have prevented their general use in America. Smyrna exported 2l,600,000 pounds of dried figs iii 1884, and other counties brought the grand total up to 40,000,000, be- sides the large amount consumed at home. England, the United States and Germany receive the bulk of this export.
 It is fact well demonstrated that the figs can be raised successfully in California, and that it will thrive and bear in almost all our soils and loca- tions, from the valleys to the foothills. The warm, dry, alluvial soils and eli mate of the interior valleys and foot hills seem best adapted to its growth and curing. It will succeed on lands too dry for other fruits, and on rich, moist bottom lands, if they are well drained.

Some people use l0-lb. boxes and some larger; small boxes from ! ID. to 2 lbs. make meat packages and sell high. They must be pressed into the boxes very firmly.

The fig tree does not need cutting back like other trees; keep it in shape till it gets a good growth, and stops making so much new wood; then head it back pretty heavily, and it will throw out new wood and make good crops of fruit.
